Care and maintenance
What to do in case of false alarm?
Possible causes of false alarm include: Welding and cutting, soldering and
other hot work, sawing and grinding, dust created from building work, e.g.
cleaning, extreme electromagnetic effects, changes in temperature which lead
to condensation in the alarm as well as small insects and pollen.
• If a false alarm is being caused by work close to the device, it
should be temporarily covered up or removed. Upon completion of
the work, it is imperative, however, that the device be returned to
its original operating state and be checked!
Cleaning
The operation of every installed smoke alarm must be regularly checked and
kept safe through maintenance measures in accordance with German DIN
14676 application standards. This includes an inspection at least once every 12
months ± 3 months, including maintenance and checking the performance of
the warning signals. The results and measures taken should be documented
accordingly.
• Dust covered alarms must be cleaned. Dust deposits in the alarm’s
air vents can be sucked up or blown out.
• Dust can be removed with a brush if required.
• The surface area can be cleaned with a slightly damp and soapy
cloth.
• Take care that no liquids get into the apparatus!
Do not clean device in a dishwasher!
Display and functions Care and maintenance
• Do not use any sharp, pointed, abrasive or caustic cleaning
products, chemicals or hard brushes!
Maintenance
• The electronic components of each smoke alarm are subject to
ageing. In addition, insect screens and smoke measure chambers
will inevitably become contaminated over time.
• Operating life of the device:
The smoke alarm must be replaced no later than 10 years +
6 months after the manufacturing date.
